Modelos, formas e referências para os retábulos em Minas Gerais: o caso do tratado de Andrea Pozzo
Year: 2018
Type: article
Abstract: Between 1730 and 1760, the 18th century churches of Minas Gerais (Brazil) had their spaces transformed by retables and other wood ornaments that materialized the Portuguese baroque trends named by Robert Smith as “joanino” style. That cycle was the result of the work of Portuguese artists responsible for producing pieces that contributed in disseminating formal and aesthetic elements linked to Brazilian colonial art. It’s known that architecture books and engravings circulated at that moment in Minas increasing the references of the artistic repertoire then. However, the effective role of these sources to the local art wasn’t properly examined neither were the authors that might have influenced the instructions which current artitsts were following. Therefore, this article aims to analyze the influence of Andrea Pozzo’s treatise Perspectiva pictorum et architectorum (1717) in the construction and format of joaninos retables in Minas Gerais, since the use of these books by the carvers of the region has already been established.
